ENG OPERATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL Multi-fuel and SE models Loxton 3 July 2016 1

Installation Manual and Operating instructions ENG Loxton 3 kw This manual refers to the stoves listed above, which are tested in accordance with EN 13240. Congratulations on your purchase of a new stove from Mendip Stoves. Please read this manual carefully to ensure that you get maximum enjoyment from your new stove and to prevent any problems. Please note that all local regulations, including those referring to national and European Standards, need to be complied with when installing this appliance. For further information on installing and using fireplaces and wood burning stoves, please see the relevant building regulations that apply to the country in which the Loxton has been approved, as well as the relevant brochure on the correct use of wood burning stoves available from your local stove supplier or your Chimney sweep. These instructions cover the basic principals to ensure the satisfactory installation for Loxton multi-fuel stove, although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. Height Width Depth Depth with Lip plate Weight Loxton 3.2kW 525 380 310 60 kg HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFORMATION FOR THE USER, INSTALLER AND SERVICE ENGINEER ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act are met. Handling Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling. Fire Cement Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In case of contact wash immediately with plenty of water. PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS IMPORTANT WARNING This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance. There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove because this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the room. Asbestos This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the coarse of installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment. Metal Parts When installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury. CO Alarms:- Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer s instructions. Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system. Stove paint Aerosols Paint aerosols are flammable and therefore dangerous to use around a lit stove. Be sure to allow aerosols spray paints to dry and ventilate the room well before lighting the stove. The use of any aerosol around lit stove is dangerous and care must be take in handling aerosols. 2

IMPORTANT: These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure the satisfactory installation of Mendip Stoves Loxton product :- although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove. It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 15287 as an alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following the guidance given in Approved Document J. STOVE PERFORMANCE & TESTING Mendip Stoves are approved and tested in accordance with EN 13240.

Tested Gas flow rates flue gas temperatures Flue gas flow rate Wood /coal Test flue gas temperature wood /coal Loxton 3.2kW 2.6/2.5g/sec 173/215 deg C 12 pa @ pascals of pressure NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney should be satisfactory. Alternately the calculation procedure given in BS 5854:1980 may be used as the basis for deciding whether a particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught. Flue and Chimney connection to your stove The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions of Building Regulations Approved Document J. If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other faults which might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have chimney faults or the cross section may be too large i.e., more than 230 mm x 230 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if required, seeking expert advice. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid fuel must be used in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J. Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immediately before installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and the open fire. 3

Flue and Chimney connection to your stove (continued) If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J or a twin walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS 1856-1 an be used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer s instructions and Building Regulations. A single wall metal flue pipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting flue pipe must have a minimum diameter of 150 mm and its dimension should be not less than the size of the outlet socket of the stove. Any bend in the chimney or connecting flue pipe should not exceed 45. If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then either an adjustable flue damper or alternately a draught stabiliser should be fitted. The adjustable flue damper should not close off the flue entirely but should in its closed position leave a minimum continuous opening free area of at least 20 % of the total cross sectional area of the flue or flue pipe. Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for sweeping the chimney and connecting flue pipe Your appliance needs to be maintained routinely, the throat plate/baffle should be cleaned regularly (monthly). The flue pipe can be cleaned using a flexible brush. Only use a damp cloth on external surfaces. Over time the glass may become dirty, clean with a damp cloth and polish off with damp cloth. If the stove has not been used for some time the flue should be checked for blockages before use. Do not modify the appliance; only use spares authorised by the manufacturer.

Distance to Combustible materials Combustible materials should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls of fireplaces or flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combustible materials due account must be taken of the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions. The minimum distances to flammable materials are specified on the EN 13240 plate on the back of the stove Distance to combustibles rear Distance to combustbles sides Distance to combustibles sides Convection models Loxton 3 100mm 200mm N/a YES Suitable for 12mm non-combustible floor plate Hearth The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney is not independently supported. Mendip stoves have been tested and are suitable to be installed on a 12 mm non combustible plate such as 12 mm glass plates. Installation of all hearths should comply in size and construction so that it is in accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations Approved Document J. The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or on the hearth and walls adjacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions. If the stove is to be installed on a wooden floor, it must be covered with a non-combustible material at least 12 mm thick, in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J, to a distance of 30 cm in front of the stove and 15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber. Combustion air supply In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary if the room is double-glazed or a flue draught stabiliser is operating in the same room as the appliance. The provision of air supply to the stove must be in accordance with current Building Regulations Approved Document J. An opening window is not appropriate for this purpose. Air inlets must be positioned in such a way that they cannot be blocked. An air inlet may be a vent (the vent must be open and the capacity for the vent sufficient when the stove is lit). There are no European rules regarding the minimum distance to non-flammable walls, Mendip Stoves recommend leaving a gap of at least 10 cm behind and to sides of stove. Insulated chambers Mendip Stoves are lined with vermiculite heat deflection panels and baffles, these panels are designed to ensure the maximum efficiency and are an integral part of the clean burn process of the stove. These baffles should not be removed other than for cleaning the stove. Any defective panels should be replaced. Place fuel into the fire fire chamber of your stove, impact from logs can cause the heat deflection panel to crack. Connection to chimney Mendip Stoves are factory set up with a top flue outlet, this can be altered from top to rear connection, remove the top collar and rear cover plate and exchanging collar and plate. Care should be taken to ensure an airtight fit when refitting collar and plate. A decorative cover plate is included with every stove to cover the hole in the convection top plate. This collar allows connection to either a masonry chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney. Commissioning and handover Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions given in the instruction booklet. On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out, a small fire may be lit to check that smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely into the atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours. On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be used in the stove and notify them to use only the recommended fuels for the stove. Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be warned to use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons. 5

Operating your stove- Loxton 3 kw stove Suitable fuels The Mendip Brew model is tested to burn wood or smokeless coal. and wood briquettes. For a full list of suitable fuels, check with the official solid fuels approvals body, HETAS or Solid Fuel Association. Do not overload stove as this can cause excessive heat and damage the stove( see table on page 4). ALWAYS KEEP FUEL LOAD BELOW TERTIARY PORTS AT REAR OF STOVE. Only use fuels approved for use on heating stoves. Do not burn liquid fuels, drift wood, finished wood, sawn wood, pallet wood, chipboard/plywood,varnished wood or plastic coated wood, wood treated with preservatives, or house hold waste. DO NOT EXCEED SPECIFIED FUEL WEIGHTS. DO NOT BURN HOUSE COAL. DO NOT BURN HOUSEHOLD WASTE, THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT AN INCINERATOR. Mendip STOVES RECOMMEND THE USE OF A FLUE THERMOSTAT TO CHECK YOUR STOVE IS NOT OVERHEATING. PLACE FLUE THERMOSTAT DIRECTLY ABOVE COLLAR OF STOVE AND REFER TO TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON PAGE 4. The first lighting of your stove. Before lighting your stove for first time make sure you have read this manual fully and acquainted yourself with the controls of this appliance. (see page 12) The heat-resistant paint on your stove will cure and harden the first time you light your appliance. The curing process produces a good deal of smoke and odour, it is therefore important that the first time you light your stove the room should be well ventilated. During the process it is important to open and close the stove door periodically (every 30mins) during the first couple of firings therefore preventing the door seal cord around the door from sticking and coming away from the door. Once the heat-resistant paint has hardened the smell will disappear. This stove is NOT designed to be used with the door open, the stove door must be kept closed except when lighting the stove, adding firewood or removing ash in order to prevent flue gases from escaping. Lighting your appliance Quality Firelighters should be used when lighting the stove. (Never use metholated spirit, petrol or other flammable liquids). Lighting your stove with firelighters will be more reliable and easier than using paper. TO LIGHT YOUR STOVE(wood) 1. Place a few smaller pieces of dry wood (kindling) in the stove on top of the non toxic firelighters, place one or two small dry split logs (¼ split) on top. 2. Open fully both air controls by sliding levers to the left. The secondary air control is above the stove door and the primary control is below the door. With the two control lever slide to the left the stove air controls are now fully open. 3. Light the firelighters and push door to closed position. 4. Once the flames from the logs are fully established slide to the right the primary air slider, this closes off the primary air. 5. If the stove begins to die when the primary is fully closed, open primary slider again until fire is established and then close. 6. Once established close the secondary air slider by 50%, for the stove to burn cleanly plenty of secondary air is needed, do not be tempted to shut the fire down too early as this may cause smoke. At nominal heat output, expect to refuel your stove approximately once an hour. Check load weights for your model on the table on page 4. The stove will get very hot during use and due care must therefore be exercised. Please use the glove and operating tool supplied when operating air controls and door. 6

RE-FUELLING ( wood) To re-fuel your stove in the cleanest way. Only refuel your stove when flames have died down and you have glowing embers. Before refuelling, open secondary air slider fully. Open door gently, add two pieces of wood (see weight table page 4) and close the door. Once the flames from the logs are fully established the secondary air supply can be adjusted to the desired setting. BURNING WOOD IN A SMOKE CONTROL AREA You must purchase a smoke control version of the Mendip stove which is modified slightly to comply with regulations. Any change to this modification will invalidate the stoves compliance for smoke control areas. The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area). The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas have been "authorised" in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations. Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here: http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/ Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements Using your stove in a smoke control zone. Only specific SE models are suitable for smoke control areas (see page 4), alterations should not be attempted. Mendip smoke control stoves should not be burnt with the door left open. The refuelling procedure : - allow the newly charged fuel to burn with the secondary air control set at maximum for up 3 to 4 minutes. After this period, with flames from the logs fully established, close the secondary air supply to the low output setting. When operating at high output (secondary air set fully open) the new refuel charge does not require any boost air to establish combustion. Refuelling on to a low fire bed If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke Dampers left open Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in the instructions. TO LIGHT YOUR STOVE (Solid Fuel) Note: on cold days it maybe necessary to warm the flue using two firelighters. 1. Place Firelighters and a few smaller pieces of dry wood (kindling) among a small quantity of fuel in the combustion chamber. 2. Open fully both air controls by sliding levers to the left. The secondary air control is above the stove door and the primary control is below the door. With the two control lever slide to the left the stove air controls are now fully open. Light firelighters and securely close door. 3. With the fire established, open the door. And fill chamber with fuel, (see weight table on page 4) do not overload. (do not cover tertiary air ports). Reloading is approximately every 2 hours. 4. Close fire door, set primary air to 45% open and set secondary air to 40% open. 5. Adjust as necessary. The stove is only suitable for intermittent use only: do not run overnight or for long periods unattended. Experience will determine the settings that produce best results. Use a flue thermostat to check the stove is not overheating. Flue thermostats should be placed directly above collar of the stove on a non insulated section of pipe. (efficient operating temperature range is between 100c and 200c) The stove will get very hot during use and due care must therefore be 7

RE-FUELLING (Solid fuel) To re-fuel your stove. Before refuelling, open secondary and primary air controls fully. Open door gently and de -ash your stove with use of poker. (not provided) Add fuel to below tertiary air bar (see weight table on page 3) and close the door. Leave the air controls open whilst fuel is established. Set primary air to 45% open and set secondary air to 40% open. In the event of a chimney fire: Close the air controls and the stove door, and call 999 or your local fire brigade. If your stove is overheating close all air sliders and door, leave until the stove has returned to normal temperature. Incomplete combustion If the air controls on your Loxton 3.2kW stove are closed too much incomplete combustion may lead to a build-up of hard, shiny soot on the inside of your stove and glass. To prevent sooting of the chamber and glass introduce:- 1) more secondary air, 2) check that your fuel is suitable and dry. 3) that you have sufficient draw in your chimney. It is important to check the draft conditions before lighting your stove. This may be done, for instance, by crumpling a piece of newspaper, placing it in the combustion chamber and lighting it. The draft conditions are good if the smoke is drawn away through the chimney. WOOD FUEL Good quality wood is the most important factor in your stove working efficiently and cleanly. Always use dry split hardwood firewood (moisture content of 20% or less). The dryness of the firewood plays an important role since the use of wet wood results in poor fuel economy and may cause a tarry sooty film on the internals of the stove. Newly cut wood contains 60 70% water, making it totally unsuitable for use as firewood. Newly cut wood should be stacked and air dried under cover for two years before being used as firewood. Do not burn liquid fuels, drift wood, finished, sawn wood, pallet wood, chipboard/plywood, varnished wood or plastic coated wood, wood treated with preservatives, or house hold waste. SOLID SMOKELESS FUELS- Mendip Loxton 3.2kW model is suitable for use with good quality registered smokeless fuels and have been fully tested to the relevant European standard. Only use registered smokeless fuels on this stove. Take special note of load quantities in front of this book.(page 4) HOUSE COAL AND PETROLEUM COKE ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON THIS STOVE; ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE. Overnight burning Mendip stoves ltd do not recommend burning coal in a slumbering position, Mendip stoves are designed to burn wood and quality registered smokeless fuels. Wood burns more efficiently and cleanly if it is burnt hotter. Mendip stoves do not recommend that their stoves are burnt overnight for this reason. As a night time regime we recommend that the fire is loaded when hot and burnt for five minutes with the secondary air control fully open until the new wood has taken and is burning, then close the secondary air valve to its operational position. On returning to the stove in the morning the fire will have burn out, reload with some paper or firelighter and some kindling and open both air sliders fully to relight quickly. Beware as the ash bed will have hot embers. Permanent air vent The stove requires a permanent air vent to the room. This is to provide adequate air supply in order for the stove to operate safely and efficiently. In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any circumstances be shut off or sealed. 8

AIR CONTROLS Secondary air Left open / right Tertiary air Permanently open Primary air Left open / right To Open door lift handle. To close push door closed and push When opening the door of your Mendip Loxton stove always wear the glove that is provided to protect your hand from possible heat. The handle has push pull motion as shown above. When shutting the door push the door closed and push handle firmly until the door latches. Your stoves parts Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove is in use. The Mendip Loxton stove has the following tools and parts packed in the stove 1) 5mm steel wood grate plate - for use when burning wood only (remove when burning coal) 2) Ash tray removal tool 3) Stove Glove 4) Instruction manual 5) Warranty card 5) Ash Pan Maintenance Mendip stoves recommend that the Loxton 3.2kW model need to have the ash removed from the stove at regular intervals (weekly if used daily). Allowing the ash pan to over flow can impede the function of the stove and can cause possible damage to the stove grate and ash pan. To remove ash pan use ash pan tool to hook under frontal loop on front of ash pan drawer. Lift and pull out of firebox chamber. Take care to support ash pan during movement, always wear a heat resistant glove. Make sure the stove is completely cold before cleaning out ash (embers can remain hot for over 24 hours). Ash must be stored in a non-combustible container and must not be mixed with other combustible waste. Prolonged non use (summer) If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time (e.g. over the summer) then it should be given a thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open. It is important that the flue connection, any appliance baffles or throat plates and the chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period. Annual service The inside of the stove should be serviced /cleaned once a year. To clean the inside, remove all ash, soot and tar residue from the combustion chamber. Remove insulated chamber panels and baffle, dirt and soot will collect behind it and this must be cleaned out. Check the quality of all insulated panels and replace any which are damaged or cracked, replace stove door rope cord in the door. Check glass is correctly positioned. The stove, the flue pipe connection and the chimney should be checked regularly by a qualified engineer. The chimney should also be checked for blockages before relighting the stove if it has not been used for an extended period of time. The paint/ lacquer can wear thin in exposed places due to overheating. This, and other lacquer damage, may be repaired using Senotherm paint/lacquer spray available from your Mendip dealer. To clean the outside of the stove use a dry 9

Sweeping your chimney Ensure that your appliance, flue ways and chimney are swept regularly. This could be incorporated in the service regime of your appliance. Regular sweeping is essential and means at least once a year for smokeless fuels and a minimum of twice a year for wood, If a throat plate is incorporated, it is essential that the throat plate is removed and cleaned above, all ashes and debris should be removed. Ensure adequate access to cleaning doors where it is not possible to sweep the chimney through the appliance. Where a chimney has served an open fire installation previously it is possible that the higher flue gas temperature from a closed appliance may loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation of the stove. Aerosols Aerosols are flammable and therefore dangerous to use around a lit stove. Do not use aerosols sprays near a lit stove. The use of any aerosol is dangerous and care must be taken in handling aerosols. Warning Note Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated.

Chimney Fires If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur turn the air control setting to the minimum, and tightly close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go out in which case the control should be kept at the minimum setting until the fire in the stove has gone out. The chimney and flue ways should then be cleaned. If the chimney fire does not go out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately. After a chimney fire the chimney should be carefully examined for any damage.
